4-38. A great multitude of possibilities lay before you. Your return to Love is certain. The path you take is wholly within your power to choose. Guidance will be provided to the extent that you allow.
Anything is possible. While this statement, containing a small sliver of the Truth of God, can easily be misunderstood by the ego, it is nonetheless absolutely correct. This should not be misconstrued to imply that all things are probable. Such a conclusion is a deeply ineffective misappropriation of the Truth that the unlimited Nature of God is equally your True Nature as well. When the Truth of the availability of any situational outcome, no matter how seemingly improbable it might be, is misrepresented by the ego, desolation and despair ensues, for there becomes a new conceptualization that arises, inordinate in its presentation and utterly useless in its implementation. This idea, a false idol of the mind indeed, is that there must remain some subset of all that can be that remains inaccessible by virtue of any of a great number of presumptions, none of which are correct. The ego can attempt to twist the Truth of God into any manner it may like, but that in no way should be construed as being justification for the inherently limited and limiting nature of the ego, for the ego has no desire for you to see beyond all of its tiny and restrictively domineering walls of blindness. If you were to become unlimited, the ego would be no more, for it is an illusion that is to be transcended, not a conflict to be resolved or a problem to be corrected. There is nothing amiss in all of Creation - all is as it should be, no matter the extent to which the collective Children of God can perceive correctly that their own innate Perfection has been forever unaltered by all that they dreamed possible, most specifically by all that they attempted to hold out as undeniable evidence of error in any form. All that can be, will be, but when it shall arrive is not at all certain and it need not be, for there is no value in prescribing an exact path of healing for any particular soul; even more so, to attempt to posit exactly how all of the now sleeping Children of God will Return to Love is even more useless, for it is not at all relevant exactly how they Awaken. That they will is Certain, for there can be no other resolution of all that is illusionary other than that it will be set aside in favor of Truth. Time is not directly restrictive of this process of transcendence, for all that is not Real can be left behind instantaneously - in Truth, such a process of revelation occurs outside of time, for it is a great unveiling that Unites your ever faithful heart with the Love of God, which by virtue of its Nature must be Eternal and ever-present. Because all that you are to set aside is not Real, all that is Real is equally accessible at all times, in all places and within any form of conditionality that you have applied to your current state of existence, because all that you are bid to forget is all that was assumed to be error. Yet no error in Creation exists, and so there is nothing at all to forgive or to loose when you accept that you are Loved beyond all forms of contemplation, evaluation or justification. You need do nothing at all to “earn” the Love of God, for that is love conditioned upon acceptability or, inversely, rejection of certain undesirable qualities, and that is not the nature of a Love that is equally applicable to all who are of God, which is equally all that were Created by Love to be extensions and expansions of that which is eternally Infinite and Perfect. All of this flies directly in the face of the ego, confronting it rudely and directly, forcing the ego’s hand and causing it to invest ever more strongly in its own illusions, for the ego knows that it is limited but your heart shares no such belief. Your mind can be a contorted and misaligned place, one within which the ego and the heart appear to do battle endlessly, one striving for acceptance and the other relying on judgment to satisfy a set of presumptions that have no justification. Choice is a criticality that must be accepted before it can be effectively implemented, for absent your ability to accept that you are forever able to choose whatever it is that you believe is best for you at any particular moment, you enslave yourself to your ego, desirous of its cold comforts when the warmth of the Love of God is so much more readily available, always vigilant and endlessly applicable to whatever it is that you believe must be unacceptable to God. Judgment wounds and Love heals. These are not opposing concepts, for only one can be Real and it is not evidence that you seek when you quest for internal resolution of outwardly existing conflict - it is reassurance that you desire, even though you are already possessed of all that you will ever genuinely need. Wander as you might or must, if you remain willing to believe that you are an outcast from Heaven and a forgotten Creation of God, but nothing that you ever imagine will be possessed of the power to alter All That Is, for there remains a Certainty and a Grace that is accessible at all times - it lives and loves in and through your heart, regardless of whatever confusions of form and obfuscations of purpose your mind continues to entertain. Where you are to go is guaranteed. How you are to arrive is not at all. It is not relevant if it takes you one femtosecond or a googol of years. You have been granted, through the Love of God for all that is Creation, all of the space, time and resources you will ever require to set aside all of the dreams of separation that are the lifeblood of the ego, so that you can become Unified with your own heart, no longer beset by fear in any form, willing to accept All That Is just as It Is, with no further thought of alteration or condemnation of all that is Real. This journey may lead you to places you never expected or into encounters with Teachers of God or students of your own knowledge that you could not possibly have anticipated. None of that is directly relevant either, for each are but new and alternative forms of the same and most beautifully singular Guidance - a Guide that knows all that is Real, and so sees not the pain that you carry, but only the Love that you Are, in Truth. You can have all that you need to assist you to accept everything just as it is, for judgment is the nourishment of the ego and acceptance is the Peace of God. There is nothing that can occur that can alter the Perfection of Creation, and so there is nothing that will arise during your voyage upon the infinite seas of possibility that are the constituent foundations of the world of form that will be able to prevent you from arriving at your final port of call, the last docking with a jetty that leads ever upwards, away from travails and tribulations and towards the mountainous Certainty that accompanies a complete surrender to Faith in all things, at all times and with all that occurs, no matter what it appears to be on its most rudimentary and surface level. Ask for what is to be best for you, and all that is Guidance will arise when it is time, in the manner that is best for you, and without regard for your unwillingness to trust that God is Love. You will not be forced to take even a single step that you are not yet ready to effect. Yet with each that you willingly proceed with, yet another layer of resentment, frustration, ineffective dissonance from your own powers of heart-centric perception and distrust of your innate instincts will fall behind you, another shell now outgrown and another encumbrance that you no longer desire to carry forth unto God. Continue as you will, stumbling or confidently - it is not at all important how you progress. That you can either remain exactly the same or you grow ever stronger and more confident in your Faith as you encounter ever-increasing examples of the alignments with Truth that are available at all times, is all that you must accept, for it is merely your own willingness to believe that you can become less than you were that makes it appear possible that the Creations of God can contract. They cannot. That is purely the ambit and orientation of the ego - to be reduced. It has no applicability to your heart and soul. There is but one direction that leads to your Return to God - that is forward, ever onwards towards all that is Love and away from all that is illusion. Your faith in your own ability to choose what is best for you is essential, and you are already possessed of all of the certainty that you will ever require. Discover it within, and then allow its infinitely radiant Light guide you all of the way Home to God.
